With the new remodel, the park now invites kids of all ages to play creatively. The park is finally alive again. There were always kids at the park, but now the park often is full of children (of all ages) running, playing, and making new friends. Families are having picnics and children are playing. The park is working. The addition of an entrance on kings will help parents get in and out of the park during rush hours. There are bathroom facilities, benches, and pavilions for the public to use. You can rent a pavilion for events as well. The only issue I have is that, even with the addition of extra benches, there is still not enough seating for all the extra people visiting.

Nice...maybe for older kids. The park is very nice. Tons of huge trees and lots of shade. They recently upgraded all of the play equipment. There are also two decent bathrooms. My only worry is that the new equipment can be dangerous. My daughter is five and she was very nearly knocked down from one of the high climbing areas. This park is usually very crowded and the climbing areas (majority of the equipment) are dangerous when there are tons of kids banging into each other and pushing to go first. I may wait until my daughter is a few years older before we go back.

Love the climbing challenges for children. Adequate seating, covered pavilions, and gates so that wandering children have a barrier before the parking lot. This is not your traditional playground. It challenges children to think about how they are going to get from one place to another. For parents who dont mind their children learning from their mistakes and perhaps getting a little bruised up, this playground is for you and your little one(s).

We frequented this park a lot before the recent renovation and were expecting a great upgrade for how long the park was closed. We all pretty disappointed to say the least. The added dinosaur items are very nice but the lack of seating, or covered areas makes absolutely no sense for the size of this park. This park draws big crowds due to its location and investing in a few more benches would help in accommodating these crowds.

Recently remodeled. No longer a great place for little children, my son is 2. I would say only bother if your kid is 5 and older. The ground is wood much under the play area now. It is partially fenced but people leave it open a lot. There is a significant amount of shade from trees, but not as much as there once was. Located at the corner of a busy intersection.

Great park to take kids to. Is well shaded which is a huge bonus in Florida! They recently redid the playground and while it is nice, I wish they did more. There is a lot of land available and the park is normally crowded so another play area would have been nice. I also miss having the rubber mulch but thats just personal preference.

Awesome job on remodel with a multitude of activities for the kids to do. I would say it has been remodeled for kids 12 and under based on the new equipment. Parents need to be vigilant as the new additions require more supervision from the parents. My husband had to a rescue a young girl that got caught up in 1 if rope climbs.

No benched seating near the playground. It gets crowded quick, especially when multiple daycare centers do trips at the same time when it is already busy. Many parents had to leave since these daycare centers did take over quickly with no apologies. I think someone should do something about it since it is a problem.

The new playground is ok. There is lots to do but its all in one spot so its crowded. They removed the seating benches but hopefully they will bring them back along with a second playground for younger kids. Very shady and plenty of parking now. There are restrooms and a water bottle filling fountain.

Great family park. Recently revamped with new play equipment. For the first time in recent memory Im seeing parks get back to the epic jungle gym climbing opportunities we had as kids. My boys love it and its great to watch them have fun. Also some massive old oak trees here that are fun to climb.

We really like this park. All the trees keep it nice and cool. They are also good for climbing for the bigger kids. 3 different swing sets one being for babys. 2 separate play arias with sides. Tables and benches through out the park

How unfortunate that with such an expensive renovation that whole entire playground area is completely non accessible for kids with special needs. Not to mention there isnt anything for toddlers. Very disappointing.

Nice park. It was just redone. Not much for older kids and adults. No basketball or tennis courts. There is a brand new playground and new sidewalks. Great for little ones
